The successful candidate will support our site teams by delivering materials and equipment, collecting waste and surplus materials from projects, keeping our yard and stores organised, and helping ensure our teams have what they need to complete their work efficiently.

A company truck and fuel card will be provided.

The Person

We're looking for someone who is dependable and proactive - the type of person who notices when something needs doing and gets on with it rather than waiting to be asked.

Because you will regularly visit active construction sites, previous building experience is important. You need to understand how sites operate, recognise common materials and equipment, and be comfortable working around trades and site teams.

Organisation is also a major part of the position. We want our yard and stores maintained properly, with materials and equipment stored safely and logically rather than simply being dropped off.

What We Provide

* Full-time permanent position.

* Company truck.

* Company fuel card.

* Company uniform/PPE where required.

* Stable employment with an established construction company.

* Varied working day rather than being based in one location.

* Opportunity to become an important part of our operational team.

Typical Day

A typical day could involve starting at the company yard, loading materials required by one of our projects, delivering them to site, collecting waste or surplus materials from another project, picking up an order from a builders' merchant and returning to the yard to unload and organise stock.

The role will vary from day to day, so we are looking for somebody who enjoys being busy and is comfortable taking responsibility for getting things done.
